As you may know, I’ve got some opinions about capitalism, and about the idea of “anarcho-capitalism.” I think that anarcho-capitalism is an incoherent goal, and in some ways destructive in practice. Not because I’ve got a problem with property, money, competition or market exchange, but because I think the conflation of these market forms with…
Primeiramente, devo afirmar minha convicção de que Lysander Spooner e Benjamin R. Tucker foram inigualáveis como filósofos políticos e que nada é mais necessário hoje em dia que um renascimento e um desenvolvimento de seu legado esquecido para a filosofia política. Na metade do século 19, a doutrina individualista libertária havia chegado a um ponto…
Murray Rothbard rejeitou fortemente essa tentativa marshalliana de sintetizar as inovações marginalistas com o legado de David Ricardo. Com isso, rejeitava a tentativa de sintetizar o trabalho e a espera como elementos do “custo real”. Para entender por quê, devemos começar com a distinção de Rothbard entre a avaliação de ações ex ante e ex…

Michelle Fransan, do Instituto Liberal de São Paulo, publicou um artigo esta semana (“Marx e a defesa da prostituição forçada“, Liberzone, 13 de maio) que supostamente “provava” que Marx defendia a dissolução da família e a prostituição geral forçada.

Michelle Fransan, from the São Paulo’s Instituto Liberal, published an article this week (“Marx e a defesa da prostituição forçada“, Liberzone, May 13) that supposedly “proved” how Marx advocated the dissolution of family and general forced prostitution.

Há uma divisão cada vez maior entre os libertários com relação à conexão entre seu firme comprometimento à luta contra o estado e outros valores sociais e culturais. Contudo, trata-se de uma falsa dicotomia. Os libertários apoiam um único princípio maior: a liberdade. É um princípio que se aplica a situações que envolvem ou não…
There is a growing division among libertarians regarding the relationship between our fervent commitment to anti-statism and other principles we might hold regarding social and cultural issues. This distinction is a false dichotomy, though. Put simply, libertarians are for one overriding principle: liberty. This principle applies to situations involving the state and situations that don’t….
